Greene King says it has invested more than £6 million in its London pubs so far in 2025, with 14 managed sites having reopened after significant renovations.
Key investments include the re-opening of the historic Railway pub, on Liverpool Street (pictured), following a £1m renovation. Dating back to 1736, the flagship Greene King site was transformed both inside and out. The pub has seen a significant rise in sales following its official relaunch earlier this year.
The City of Quebec, in Marylebone, London’s oldest LGBTQIA+ venue, re-opened its doors to the public this summer after a complete refurbishment, solidifying its reputation as a leading late-night entertainment venue.
“Many of our sites are considered key landmarks of the city and have become popular tourist attractions, in addition to being key social pillars that serve their local communities day in and day out,” said Zoe Bowley, managing director of Greene King pubs.
“The success of our investment activity in the capital highlights the value in protecting our pubs and giving them a new lease of life, as this helps us to attract and engage customers and adapt to changing consumer needs, providing stylish, modern facilities and delicious food and drinks menus, whilst also staying true to the unique charm that each pub holds.”
A further five Greene King pubs in London are due to undergo refurbishments ahead of the busy festive trading season, marking a total of 19 Greene King pub investments in the capital this year.
Upcoming investments include the Adam & Eve, in St James, the Mason Arms, in Mayfair, the Earls Court Tavern, the Bayswater Arms, and the Two Brewers, in Covent Garden, which is due to officially reopen its doors to the public on Friday (7th November) after a month-long renovation.
